The Communist country of 1.3 billion people has shifted that much cash into amping up its factories in just four years in an effort to overwhelm manufacturers around the world with an influx of cheap goods.
President Trump’s 125% tariff on all Chinese imports into the US...is actually just the latest protective measure against China.

I’m going to be very careful in buying anything.
“We will bury you!”
(In shoddy Chinese products.)
Wen will Trump get serious and send all of China’s F1/H1B visa spies back home ?
This is Willow Run. It was a B-24 plant built by Ford to mass produce the bomber. It ran its line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and produced a complete B-24 every 63 minutes on average. At peak, it produced 100 bombers in just two days.
America had 18 dry docks building Liberty Ships during WW2. Whereas typically riveted ships of the day took months to build, the Liberty Ships went from nothing to ready to launch in an average of 42 days in those dry docks. They were welded instead of riveted, and only built for a 5-year life span. Forty-two days doesn’t seem very fast? Well I did say that was an average. The first Liberty ship took 230 days to complete. The fastest built ship took less than five days. That is a 14,000 ton ship from laying the keel to launch in less than five days. We built 2,710 of these ships during the war.
Between the nine plants, 49,234 Sherman tanks were built during the war, accounting for about half of the tanks the US produced during the war. Yeah, half again. -Quora ^ | 2019 | Chris Morehouse
Thank God for those who served, and for those who enabled such production for the purpose of fighting evil empires. Yet now the Navy knows how to marry men with men, and thinks it is wise to have men and women work (etc.) together on subs, and all overall the military is committed to helping the enemies within, saluting the Leftist politically correct flag. On her present course of war against God, the day will come when it is said, "How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!" (2 Samuel 1:27)
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! (2 Samuel 1:27)
Imagine what would happen, if those containers full of chinese junk were loaded on ships, and no one bought the stuff.
“Religion begat prosperity and the daughter devoured the mother.” - Attributed to Cotton Mather alarmed by the trend toward materialism in New England Society
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. (Hosea 4:11)
2. As American increasingly became post-Christian, so it increasingly becomes anti-Christian, adopting the demonic perversions of all the God ordained. As we sadly see daily and more so.
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. (Hosea 8:4)
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. (Hosea 8:12)
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. (Hosea 8:3)
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. (Hosea 8:14)Every generation since perhaps 1950 has been the most Biblically ignorant, morally confused and mislead generation America has ever raised, with each other surpassing the previous one. Now we are seeing the 3rd generation in the voting booth since so-called "the greatest generation."
3. One of those is contraception, which goes with abortion. Without these two practices alone and the welfare which fosters broken homes, there could be a partial social revolution, of actual families of more than 1.6 children if at all, and learning to share, tolerate, interact, endure difficulties, build character, initiative. etc.
4. The growth of secular, anti-Christ media. Never before has there been a media so pervasive, perverted and persuasive since perhaps Pompeii, though we do have sane as well as sacred alternatives, thank God.
“Arbeit Macht Frei”
China overproduced bigly for their anemic consumer market that is broke from a real estate bust of epic proportions. They can’t sell the crap internally and were going to try to backdoor through Mexico and Canada. That’s over and they are so screwed. Otherwise they wouldn’t be screaming and crying like little bitchez.
Ask Mark Rubio. He's in charge of the State Department.
Amen.
Amen.
Who wtites this crap?
Cost and quality are king where consumer preference wins in the open competition of the voluntary cooperation between buyer and seller in the marketplace.
Low quality cheapness never wins because the consumer doesn’t want it. It has to be maximum quality at the lowest price because the consumer isn’t stupid and buys according to his own self interest.
If you as the buying consumer can get a better quality product and/or a lower price for the same, the consumer doesn’t care where it came from - only the stupid politicians care.
The Free Market Economy (FME) is oblivious to politics. The FME cares only about self interest in the voluntary cooperation between buyer and seller in the marketplace which drives supply and demand which in turn drives price and availability.
This is the same tactic Japan used on steel in the 1960’s. If China tries to flood the US market with cheap imports, let them. With 100% tariffs, they won’t be cheap products. The gov’t can only subsidize so much before the model collapses.
Their production economy has failed, unfortunately. I know many Chinese who are the loveliest and most giving people I have ever met. It is too bad their leaders do not allow them to live completely.
That is one scary ass picture: a portrait of American political graft and treachery, from Nixon to Biden.
Only if the two parties are American. Trade across international borders is subject to politics and tariffs, as it should be.
Libertarian horsesh!t.
While it’s true that as a nation we are addicted to cheap Chinese products it is also true that China depends on us buying that stuff for their economic stability. If we replace the Chinese stuff with products made instead in S. Korea, Vietnam and Malaysia China’s economy would be in freefall. China’s economy is already far more fragile than they would have us believe. Some workers haven’t been paid in over 6 months. Also, a couple of months back there was a spate of factory fires started by employees dissatisfied with working conditions.
